Translation

Yui: I choose club activities.Zeus: I will leave it to you, Kusanagi Yui. You will teach them about humans and love.Yui: Yes.Yui: (I left the room, my path decided.)

In the School Hallway???: What’s first period?!Yui: Huh?Yui: (I heard a voice from an empty classroom and turned to look.)
Yui: (Inside, there was a student I’d never seen before.)
Yui: (But there wasn’t just one student. There were various students of all different kinds, standing in groups and exchanging words with each other.)
Yui: (After a little while, I realized that these were the students Zeus created.)
Yui: (They had immediately gone to school and started their lives here.)Japanese student: Does anyone here know the details on class?!Greek study: Hmm…What was it again?Nordic student: …body.Japanese student: Hungh? I’m very sorry, could you say that one more time please?!Nordic student: …it’s on the human body.Japanese student: Right! That’s it! Thank you very much thank you!Norse student: …welcome.Yui: (They somehow had some individuality, and seemed to be able to answer like us.)
Yui: (Keeping them in the back of my mind, I went over to my own classroom.)

In the ClassroomYui: …So, we’re going to start doing club activities soon.Yui: (Having arrived at my classroom, I explained the situation to the gods.)
Yui: (However, the only ones there were the ones who attended the entrance ceremony: Apollon, Balder, and Tsukito.)
Yui: (None of them understood the meaning of “club activities”, and they looked at me as if dazed.)Yui: Please calm down, everyone. I’ll explain it from the beginning.Yui: (Saying this, I stood at the teacher’s podium.)
Yui: (Then, the door to the classroom opened, and our instructor, Thoth, appeared.)Thoth: Oh, so you’re going to stand there today. Then you don’t need me here.Yui: Huh? I was just going to explain club…Thoth: Explain whatever you want. Goodbye.Yui: W-Wait!Yui: (Thoth got up and left, and the door closed behind him.)Yui: (…He could be so unreasonable.)Yui: …Well, since we have the perfect opportunity, let’s learn about the basics of club activities.Yui: (I faced the front and immediately started my explanation.)Yui: …and the woodwinds club, literature club, and gardening club. These are a few of the most common activities.Yui: (I wrote various kinds of activities on the board under athletics and culture categories.)Yui: I want everyone to choose the one you want to do out of these.Yui: Except, I don’t think the details will be clear if I just explain it here, so we’re going to go to the library.Yui: There should be related materials in there. Let’s find some information on clubs you all might be interested in.Apollon: I feel kind of excited! I’m really excited! Something new is going to happen.Tsukito: But, Kusanagi Yui. From your explanation, it seems like club activities are done with many people. With just us, I am unsure.Yui: That’s true…Yui: (I want everyone to participate.)Yui: Let’s try to invite everyone. We’ll never know if we don’t try. We have some time today too.Yui: (Deciding on clubs was different from the entrance ceremony, which had a set time.)Balder: There are a lot of gods to find, so let’s split up. We’ll go convince the ones we know better, but what will you do?Yui: I will…

Choose: Go with the Greek Gods

Yui: I’ll go with the Greek gods.Apollon: Then you’ll be working with me. Let’s work together. Can I leave Uncle Hades to you? I’m going to get Dionysus.Appollo: My uncle is really nice, he’s a really nice person. He’ll definitely listen to you, Fairy-san.Yui: Thank you for your consideration. …I’ll see you later.Yui: (I parted with Apollon and left the classroom.)

In the School HallwayYui: (While walking down the hallway, I thought about where Hades could be.)Yui: (Since he seemed to be avoiding school, I feared he wouldn’t be in a place overflowing with students.)
Yui: (There was a high possibility that he would be outside of the school building)
Yui: (So I looked out through the window.)Yui: …Ah.Yui: (I immediately found him in the distance.)
Yui: (Hades was nearing the gate and seemed to be heading outside the grounds.)
Yui: (Where does he plan to go?)Yui: W-Wait…Yui: (I didn’t want to lose him, so I hurriedly ran down the stairs.)
Yui: (I flew out of the entrance hall and chased after his back.)

In the ForestYui: …Where could he have gone?Yui: (As I was chasing Hades, I came to this place.)
Yui: (I could see that it was a deep forest, on the other side of the grasses that surrounded the school.)Yui: …?Yui: (I heard a crack, like someone stepping on a branch. I looked in the direction of the sound.)Yui: (Hades was there.)
Yui: (He had a listless expression on his face and was looking up at the sky, which was nearly covered by trees.)Yui: …Hades-san.Yui: (When I spoke to him, he slowly turned to me.)Hades: …Yui: (His gaze pierced through me, glittering with rejection. The god of death and the underworld…)
Yui: (He had a fearsome intensity that gave me goosebumps just from looking.)Yui: U-Um… I’m Kusanagi Yui. I was called here to be the human representative.Hades: I heard you. …What do you want?Yui: Could you come to school?Yui: We’re starting something called club activities today, so I’d like everyone to join.Yui: If everyone participates, then it’ll be really fun!Yui: (I tried to communicate the true charm of club activities to make them seem more appealing.)Hades: …Everyone? That’s impossible.Yui: (I was immediately rejected. His expression was even sharper than before.)
Yui: (I thought maybe I’d said something that made him a little upset…)
Yui: (Even so, I had the duty of bringing everyone to graduation. Gathering courage, I tried again.)Yui: …Could I ask you the reason?Hades: You don’t need a reason. I do not wish to go along with that man’s trickery. That is all.Yui: That man…?Hades: The one we call Zeus. I don’t want to have anything to do with him.Yui: (As he said this, a look of disgust washed over Hades’s face.)Yui: …Do you… hate him?Hades: …Yui: (There wasn’t any need for him to answer; that was what his expression was telling me.)
Yui: (He appeared to have considerably negative feelings toward Zeus.)Yui: He might be a little arbitrary, and his personality might not be so agreeable…Yui: (I was also very surprised at his actions the first time I came here.)
Yui: (I just assumed that was what gods do.)Yui: Anyway, please consider participating.Yui: (I pleaded with him.)
Yui: (Hades was firmly rejecting any contact, turning his eyes away from me.)
Yui: (It was then.)Yui: …Thunder?Yui: (I heard the sound of cracking thunder somewhere.)Hades: So, using force when words don’t work? Such vulgar methods.Yui: Huh…?Yui: (Hades words weren’t directed at me, but at someone else.)Zeus: You gods who have rejected this school.Yui: I hear Zeus’s voice…Yui: (He was nowhere to be seen, but for some reason, his voice was coming down from above.)Zeus: I will give you a warning. Participate in our plans. If you do not, you will receive punishment.Yui: Punishment? What does he mean?Yui: (The sound of thunder reverberated loudly.)
Yui: (I noticed that today was sunny. Hearing thunder seemed really strange.Yui: …No way.Yui: Is he planning to drop lightning?!Yui: (Even though they were gods like him, isn’t this going too far?)
Yui: (I yelled toward the sky, hoping to stop Zeus.)Yui: Please stop! I’ll find them and persuade them!Yui: (But my voice didn’t reach him, and the lightning only got harsher.)Yui: Even if you have to lie, please agree to this! It’s dangerous if you don’t…!Hades: I don’t care if I have to be punished. Listening to him is like deferring to him.Yui: That’s…Yui: (The sky filled with light.)
Yui: (Immediately afterward was thunder so loud it made the earth shake.)Yui: Watch out!Yui: (In that instant, I pushed Hades to save him from the lightning.)

In the InfermaryYui: (As I lifted my eyelids, I saw that I was in the infirmary.)
Yui: (I was lying on a bed and looking up at the ceiling.)Yui: …I’m alive.Hades: If you die, it is judgment. If you live, it is divine punishment. His intentions are the latter… He wants us to attend school.Hades: He isn’t so foolish that he’d kill us.Yui: (I looked in the direction of the voice and saw Hades sitting in a chair nearby.)Yui: …So you’re… safe.Hades: No. I got caught in the lightning as well.Yui: Huh…Loki: We-ll that was an exciting experience! Is this what they call… pleasure?Takeru: Why did I have to…?Yui: (I turned my head toward the voices and saw that there were other gods resting in here.)
Yui: (All of them probably got struck by Zeus’s lightning.)Yui: (There was a person I didn’t know.)???: So I heard you protected Hades-san?Yui: You are…?Yui: (Is this person also a god?)Dionysus: I am Dionysus. A Greek god.Yui: Nice to meet you…Yui: (He also seemed to have been boycotting school, and had received the full force of the lightning.)Dionysus: However, disobeying my old man with such a cute face… you got guts.Yui: (Old man… Right, Dionysus was also Zeus’s child.)Dionysus: I might have changed my mind about you. You’re amazing. I’m kind of interested…Yui: (At some point, he’d gotten closer to me to place an arm around my shoulders, and he patted them firmly.)
Yui: (He was very good-natured …Almost overly-friendly.)Yui: Is that… true?Dionysus: Yup, it’s true. Good job. I don’t dislike girls like that.Yui: (He gave me a knowing wink and rubbed my head.)
Yui: (There are a lot of friendly ones among the Greek gods…)
Yui: (I couldn’t even hide my surprise at Apollon’s positive kinship.)Yui: Th-Thank you very much.???: …I agree.Yui: (A god standing next to Dionysus was nodding, but I didn’t know who he was.)???: …You seem reliable.Dionysus: Even Thor-san’s praising you. You should feel proud.Yui: (Thor was definitely a Norse god. …And he was also supposed to be the god of thunder.)
Yui: (I wonder if he was also struck by Zeus’s lightning…)
Yui: (Perhaps because it was because of his similarity to Zeus that he seemed so much more composed than the other gods.)Yui: When you say that, I feel a little embarrassed.Yui: (At the unexpected words of praise, my numb body felt warmer.)
Yui: (I couldn’t remember being spoken to like this even back in the human world.)Takeru: It’s dumb to just sit here forever. I’m going already.Yui: (Maybe he doesn’t work well in groups. Takeru put his hand on the door to the infirmary.)Loki: What’s this? Getting all excited about enjoying the school life?Takeru: Shut up! Like hell I’d do that. I’m just leaving ‘cause I feel fine already.Loki: Aren’t you just boiling with energy? Even though we were juuust told we couldn’t leave without graduating…Yui: What? That’s…Loki: It was while you were going night-night. It’s because we’re bad kids who just can’t listen.Yui: (It was true that everyone who was in here was a god who hadn’t attended school yet.)Loki: Mr. Death has it all figured out, right? You’re an adult and all…Hades: I hate to go along with his plans, but this way is less trouble.Loki: Mr. Death just said he’ll go along, but? What’s Ta-tan gonna do?Takeeru: Don’t just call people whatever you want, you careless prick! It pisses me off when I look at guys like you.Loki: Oh nooo, calm down… It was name I’d spent so much time thinking of, you know…?Loki: Mr. Death, because he’s Lord of the Underworld. And, Ta-tan is…Takeru: The Underworld… that’s the land of the dead, right? Just from the name, it sounds like that anyway.Yui: (Hearing Loki’s words, Takeru seemed to be interested.)Takeru: By Lord, does that mean you rule the land of the dead? Doesn’t that make you some kind of hotshot?Hades: I don’t know if it’s that impressive. I’m not the one to decide that. I’m simply ruling over the domain I was given.Takeru: The land of the dead, huh? You’ve got me interested. Tell me all about it.Yui: (Takeru’s attitude had completely changed from the one he showed Loki. He was curious about Hades.)
Yui: (It seemed the fact that Hades was Lord of the Underworld had captured his interest somehow.)Hades: You’re a curious one. Do whatever you want. I don’t think I will live up to your expectations, though.Yui: (He didn’t appear to have any interest in Takeru, and even resisting Takeru seemed troublesome.)Takeru: Okay, I’ll do whatever I want! Alright, it’s decided! I’m going to school!Yui: Huh…?!Yui: Oh, yes. That’s good.Yui: (What kind of circumstances are these?)
Yui: (I didn’t understand why Takeru respected Hades so much.)Thor: …It’s been decided.Thor: …Loki. …You come too.Loki: Hm… Well, I don’t really want to, but I guess I could come with you? I could never get tired of Ta-tan, hehehe…Yui: (I got a bad feeling from that last little laugh, but at least he was coming.)
Yui: (I felt like I’d taken a step forward.)Thor: …That’s that. …Before he changes his mind, let’s begin.Yui: Okay, I’ll explain everything, so let’s go to the classroom.Yui: (I took the gods who didn’t really want to cooperate and led them to Class A.)

Choose: Go with the Japanese Gods

Yui: I want to go with the Japanese gods.Yui: (The one Japanese god who isn’t here is Takeru.)
Honestly, I felt really uneasy about trying to persuade Takeru, who didn’t seem to like the idea of humans, but I had no choice but to try.)Tsukito: …Yui: (When I looked at Tsukito, he was silent and expressionless.)
Yui: (In other words, he didn’t understand.)Yui: I’m going to go look for him. Please go get the other gods, everyone. Thank you!

In the School HallwayYui: (I left the classroom and began to walk, searching for any sign of Takeru.)
Yui: (A place he might be…)
Yui: (Where would that be?)
Yui: (Trying to picture it, I thought that the standard place for a lazy student skipping class would be the rooftop.)

On the RooftopYui: (I went to the rooftop.)
Yui: (Above my head stretched a perfectly clear blue sky.)Yui: (A nice breeze was blowing, and I thought how nice my dreams would be if I took a nap up here. Takeru might also take naps here.)???: Ha… hah… Guh… ha….Yui: (I heard the sound of heavy breathing coming from somewhere.)
Yui: (I stiffened.)Yui: (h-What is this voice…)???: …Hah… Ha…Yui: (Fearfully, I tiptoed over to the voice.)
Yui: (When I did that, I found Takeru doing push-ups.)Yui: Wh-What are you doing?!Yui: (I yelled in surprise, and at the same time, Takeru’s movement stopped.)Takeru: …What?Yui: (Still in position, Takeru glared up at me with a scary face.)Takeru: Can’t you tell I’m training?Yui: (I faltered in his sharp gaze, feeling something close to fear. His expression was cold and fierce.)Yui: (It could drive anyone away.)
Yui: (I could see that in his eyes.)
Yui: (Gripping my shaking hands tightly, I took a step forward.)Yui: Um… I was looking for you.Takeru: …Yui: (As if deliberately ignoring me, Takeru continued doing push-ups.)Yui: Will you go with me to the classroom?Takeru: …Ha… Ha…Yui: (He was concentrating on his exercise and didn’t even glance at me.)
Yui: (Being blatantly ignored like this made me kind of sad.)Yui: We’re starting club activities today. I want you to join us.Takeru: …I don’t know what you’re talking about. And it doesn’t seem like a mandatory thing.Yui: (He didn’t even break the rhythm of his exercise as he spat out those words. His voice was icy.)Yui: (I could tell he didn’t want to do it at all, but there was even a layer of animosity in his words.)Yui: (Normally, I would probably give up at this point, but if I did that here, nothing would be solved.)
Yui: (I needed to do this if I wanted to leave the Garden to go back home to my world…)
Yui: (I gathered all of my courage and spoke to him once more.)Yui: If you like exercise, then why not join a sports club?Takeru: I don’t train because I have a goal or anything. I’m just bored.Yui: In any case, if you have a goal, you’ll definitely enjoy it more! That’s why…Yui: (I wanted to persuade him with something that would get even a little bit of his interest, but…)Takeru: Yeah? Why do I have to be told that by the likes of you?Takeru: Don’t order me around. Aren’t those just your own circumstances?Takeru: Or is this Zeus’s orders?Yui: That’s…Yui: (I felt trapped, as if he’d seen right through me.)Takeru: From the very beginning, I didn’t want to go along with this farce. What the hell is a school life?Yui: (Looking at Takeru’s situation, he probably couldn’t help but feel that way.)
Yui: (He was already unwilling, and then he’d been forced to go along with things that seemed pointless.)
Yui: (But even if he didn’t like it, there was no getting out.)Yui: (Takeru didn’t hide his irritation and scowled at me.)
Yui: (He was definitely a problematic person.)
Yui: (I realized I would have to persuade him by turning his way of thinking around.)Yui: (But, how? I definitely didn’t think the aggressive Takeru would listen to me so easily.
Yui: (…Either way, I had no choice but to persuade him.)Yui: Please. I’m also supporting you all toward graduation, so let’s work together.Takeru: You’re persistent. If you don’t shut up, I won’t hold back just because you’re a girl.Yui: But…Yui: (I felt the tension crackle through my skin. I felt like I was going to suffocate under that pressure, but I tried again to convince him, and…)
Yui: (As if to drown out my voice, there was a crack of thunder.)
Yui: (However, the sky remained as blue as ever. It was strange to hear thunder.)Zeus: You gods who have rejected this school.Yui: Is this voice… Zeus’s?Takeru: Tch… Crap.Yui: (Even Takeru had stopped at the voice coming down from above.)Zeus: I will give you a warning. Participate in our plans. If you do not, you will receive punishment.Yui: (Immediately, thunder sounded once more. It was closer than before.)Yui: By punishment, is he… Is he planning to drop lightning?!Yui: (There was no answer from Zeus, but the sound of thunder grew greater, as if in affirmative.)Yui: I beg you. Please say you’ll participate! At this rate…Takeru: No thanks.Yui: (The thunder only became louder, and Takeru glared up at the sky with a sour look.)
Yui: (It seemed he still wouldn’t bend.)
Yui: (But, no matter how many gods were struck by lightning…)Yui: (A flash of lightning crackled across the sky, and the sound of thunder split the air.)Yui: Watch out!!Yui: (At the moment the lightning fell on Takeru, I jumped forward as if to move him.)
Yui: (I tried to shield him from the lightning.)Takeru: Idiot! You…Yui: (Right when I covered Takeru, a paralyzing shock coursed throughout my entire body.)

In the InfirmaryYui: (As I lifted my eyelids, I saw that I was in the infirmary.)Yui: (I was lying on a bed and looking up at the ceiling.)Yui: …I’m alive.Hades: You wouldn’t have died in that lightning.Hades: If you die, it is judgment. If you live, it is divine punishment. His intentions are the latter… He wants us to attend school.Hades: He isn’t so foolish that he’d kill us.Yui: (I looked in the direction of the voice and saw Hades sitting in a chair nearby.)Yui: …So you’re… safe.Hades: No. I got caught in the lightning as well.Yui: Huh…Loki: We-ll that was an exciting experience!

Did I ruin his mood again?)
Yui: (Looking at the wordless Takeru, I suddenly felt uneasy.)Takeru: It’d be annoying to get hit by lightning every single time.Takeru: …I’m fine with it, but you weeds are weak to it. If that turns into something huge, it’ll cause problems for me too.Yui: That’s…Takeru: Tch… I’m saying I’ll play along with this farce.Takeru: Don’t make me spell it out for you.Yui: Ah, yes! Thank you very much!Yui: (His attitude toward me may not have changed at all, but at least he seems to have some interest in the other students.)Thor: … It’s been decided.Thor: …Loki. …You come too.Loki: Hm… Well, I don’t really want to, but I guess I could come with you? I could never get tired of Ta-tan, hehehe…Yui: (I got a bad feeling from that last little laugh, but at least he was coming.)
Yui: (From just that, I felt like I’d taken a step forward.)Thor: …That’s that. …Before he changes his mind, let’s begin.Yui: Okay, I’ll explain everything, so let’s go to the classroom.Yui: (I took the gods who didn’t really want to cooperate and led them to Class A.)

Choose: Go with the Norse Gods

Yui: I want to go with the Norse gods.Yui: (I discussed things with Balder and decided to go look for Loki.)
Yui: (According to Balder, Loki is pretty elusive, so if we split up and looked, we would have a better chance of finding him.)
Yui: (Apollon looked for Hades, Tsukito left to find Takeru, and we went our separate ways.)

In the School HallwayYui: (As I walked down the hallway, I thought about where Loki could be.)
Yui: (Since he seemed to be avoiding school, I feared he wouldn’t be in a place overflowing with students.)
Yui: (There was a high possibility that he would be outside of the school building.)
Yui: (I looked out through the window.)Yui: …Ah.Yui: (I immediately found him in the distance.)
Yui: (I saw him at the edge of the courtyard, his deep red hair fluttering as if on fire.)
Yui: (If he was leaving the courtyard, where was he planning to go?)Yui: W-wait…Yui: (I didn’t want to lose him, so I hurried down the stairs.)
Yui: (I flew out the entrance hall and ran after his back.)

At the PlainsYui: (Loki seemed to be walking considerably farther ahead, and although I was chasing him desperately, the distance between us didn’t seem to lessen.)Yui: …Haa… Haa…Yui: Loki-san!!Yui: (Even though I called out to him, he only looked behind him on a whim a few times. He didn’t stop for me at all.)Yui: …Where did he go?Yui: (While chasing Loki, I ended up in this place.)
Yui: (I could see that it was a deep forest, a place beyond the grassy plains surrounding the school.)
Yui: (I’d definitely seen Loki go into this forest.)
Yui: (But the trees were so thick, I’d lost him already.)Yui: Loki-san–! Please come out!!Yui: (I looked around, but I didn’t sense anyone there. The only thing I could hear was the noise in the trees.)Yui: I thought he went in here, though…Yui: (I called his name over and over, but there was no answer.)Yui: Maybe he’s not here anymore. Maybe I should just leave…Yui: (I felt like giving up, but I steeled my nerves and called out to Loki in a loud voice.)Yui: U-Um… I’m Kusanagi Yui. I’ve come to look for you.Yui: If I don’t help you graduate, then I can’t leave this place.Yui: (Wouldn’t gods also understand the desire to go back to one’s own world?)
Yui: (Thinking that, I looked for ways to catch his interest.)Yui: Everyone is… Balder-san is worried. Could you come to school?Yui: (As if answering to me, a branch a little way away from me shook.)Yui: !!Yui: (When I paid more attention to the place that had made the noise, I could sense someone there, even though I couldn’t see them.)Yui: We’re starting something called club activities today, and I’d really like you to join.Yui: If everyone works together, then it’ll be very fun!Yui: (I tried to make club activities seem more attractive by outlining the good parts as best I could.)Yui: (It was then.)Yui: …Lightning?Yui: (I suddenly heard the cracking of thunder coming from somewhere.)Zeus: You gods who have rejected this school.Yui: I hear Zeus’s voice…Yui: (He was nowhere to be seen, but for some reason, his voice was coming down from above.)Zeus: I will give you a warning. Participate in our plans. If you do not, you will receive punishment.Yui: Punishment? What does he mean?Yui: (The sound of thunder reverberated loudly.)Yui: (I noticed that today was sunny. Hearing thunder seemed really strange.)Yui: …No way.Yui: Is he planning to drop lightning?!Yui: (Even though they were gods like him, isn’t this going too far?)
Yui: (I yelled toward the sky, hoping to stop Zeus.)Yui: Please stop! I’ll find them and persuade them!Yui: (But my voice didn’t reach him, and the lightning only got harsher.)Yui: Loki-san, please come out!Yui: (The sky filled with light.)
Yui: (Immediately afterward came thunder so loud it made the earth shake.)Yui: Ah!!Yui: (In that moment, a huge shock coursed through my body.)

In the InfirmaryYui: (As I lifted my eyelids, I saw that I was in the infirmary.)Yui: (I was lying on a bed and looking up at the ceiling.)Yui: …I’m alive.Loki: We-ll that was an exciting experience! Is this what they call… pleasure?Takeru: Why did I have to…?Hades: If you die, it is judgment. If you live, it is divine punishment. His intentions are the latter… He wants us to attend school.Hades: He isn’t so foolish that he’d kill us.Yui: Huh…Yui: (I turned my head toward the voices and saw that there were other gods resting in here.)
Yui: (All of them probably got struck by Zeus’s lightning.)Yui: (Even Loki was there. Was he in that forest too, then…?)Yui: (There was a person I didn’t know.)Yui: You are…?Yui: (Is this person also a god?)Dionysus: I am Dionysus. A Greek god.Yui: (At some point, he’d gotten closer to me to place an arm around my shoulders, and he patted them firmly.)
Yui: (He was very good-natured …Almost overly-friendly.)Yui: (There are a lot of friendly ones among the Greek gods…)
Yui: (I couldn’t even hide my surprise at Apollon’s positive kinship.)Yui: Nice to meet you…Yui: (He also seemed to have been boycotting school, and had received the full force of the lightning.)Dionysus: However, disobeying my old man with such a cute face… you got guts.Yui: (Old man… Right, Dionysus was also Zeus’s child.)Dionysus: I might have changed my mind about you. You’re amazing. I’m kind of interested…Yui: Is that… true?Dionysus: Yup, it’s true. Good job. I don’t dislike girls like that.Yui: (He gave me a knowing wink and rubbed my head.)Yui: Th-Thank you very much.???: …I agree.Yui: (A god standing next to Dionysus was nodding, but I didn’t know who he was.)???: …You seem reliable.Dionysus: Even Thor-san’s praising you. You should feel proud.Yui: (Thor was definitely a Norse god.)
Yui: (…And he was also supposed to be the god of thunder. I wonder if he was also struck by Zeus’s lightning…)
Yui: (Perhaps because it was because of his similarity to Zeus that he seemed so much more composed than the other gods.)Yui: When you say that, I feel a little embarrassed.Yui: (At the unexpected words of praise, my numb body felt warmer.)
Yui: (I can’t remember being spoken to like this even back in the human world.)Takeru: It’s dumb to just sit here forever. I’m going already.Yui: (Maybe he doesn’t work well in groups. Takeru put his hand on the door to the infirmary.)Loki: What’s this? Getting all excited about enjoying the school life?Takeru: Shut up! Like hell I’d do that. I’m just leaving ‘cause I feel fine already.Loki: Aren’t you just boiling with energy? Even though we were juuust told we couldn’t leave without graduating…Yui: What? That’s…Loki: It was while you were going night-night. It’s because we’re bad kids who just can’t listen.Yui: (It was true that everyone who was in here was a god who hadn’t attended school yet.)Loki: Mr. Death has it all figured out, right? You’re an adult and all…Hades: I hate to go along with his plans, but this way is less trouble.Loki: Mr. Death just said he’ll go along, but? What’s Ta-tan gonna do?Takereu: Don’t just call people whatever you want, you careless prick! It pisses me off when I look at guys like you.Loki: Oh nooo, calm down… It was name I’d spent so much time thinking of, you know…?Loki: Mr. Death, because he’s Lord of the Underworld. And, Ta-tan is…Takeru: The Underworld… that’s the land of the dead, right? Just from the name, it sounds like that anyway.Yui: (Hearing Loki’s words, Takeru seemed to be interested.)Takeru: By Lord, does that mean you rule the land of the dead? Doesn’t that make you some kind of hotshot?Hades: I don’t know if it’s that impressive. I’m not the one to decide that. I’m simply ruling over the domain I was given.Takeru: The land of the dead, huh? You’ve got me interested. Tell me all about it.Yui: (Takeru’s attitude had completely changed from the one he showed Loki.)
Yui: (He was curious about Hades. It seemed the fact that Hades was Lord of the Underworld had captured his interest somehow.)Hades: You’re a curious one. Do whatever you want. I don’t think I will live up to your expectations, though.Yui: (He didn’t appear to have any interest in Takeru, and even resisting Takeru seemed troublesome.)Takeru: Okay, I’ll do whatever I want! Alright, it’s decided! I’m going to school!Yui: Huh…?!Yui: Oh, yes. That’s good.Yui: (What kind of circumstances are these?)
Yui: (I didn’t understand why Takeru respected Hades so much.)Thor: …It’s been decided.Thor: …Loki. …You come too.Loki: Hm… Well, I don’t really want to, but I guess I could come with you? I could never get tired of Ta-tan, hehehe…Yui: (I got a bad feeling from that last little laugh, but at least he was coming.)
Yui: (I felt like I’d taken a step forward.)Thor: …That’s that. …Before he changes his mind, let’s begin.Yui: Okay, I’ll explain everything, so let’s go to the classroom.Yui: (I took the gods who didn’t really want to cooperate and led them to Class A.)

Continue

In the ClassroomYui: (In the classroom, Apollon and the others were researching club activities in some books they’d borrowed from the library.)Balder: Yui-san. It seems you’ve already awoken.Yui: Sorry for the wait. Anyway, thanks to you…Loki: Right, right, kept you waiting!☆Balder: Oh, Loki… Everyone’s here. I’ve been waiting. You’re so late.Thor: …There were things to do.Balder: If Thor says so, then there must have been a lot. Good work. Anyway, I’m glad you could all come.Yui: Do you understand club activities now?Thor: …Club activities?Yui: Ah, I’ll explain it to everyone, okay?Yui: (I told Thor and the others the same thing I said this morning.)Yui: …It’s kind of like that.Thor: …I see. …Balder, what do you plan to do?Balder: I’m interested in the tennis club. The one played with a soft ball.Apollon: I also want to make a tennis club, but hard style!Yui: Isn’t… that a little excessive?Yui: (I think they should do it together and get to know each other.)Balder: The word itself sounds nice! And it seems so wonderfully kind. I really like the idea of pairing up. Spending your youth saving and supporting each other!Yui: The word itself… And “youth”?Yui: (He had an excitement and a unique sensibility that I just couldn’t fight with.)Apollon: Me too, I’m going to live out my youth! I won’t lose to you, Baru-Baru! It’ll be a “mutual rivalry”.Yui: (Apollon was cheerfully using words he’d probably just learned.)
Yui: (He wasn’t making any sort of deep reference to a long-standing rivalry or something. I thought that their desire to do this was the most important thing…
Yui: (And while I was thinking, Apollon and Balder left the classroom.)Yui: What are you going to do, Tsukito-san?Yui: (I wonder what conclusions Tsukito had come to after reading those books so silently.)Tsukito: I’m not sure. I don’t feel interested in anything right now.Yui: Well that’s not good…Yui: (I wonder what he would like.)Takeru: Hey, you weed!Takeru: My brother’s name is different. What are you playing at?Yui: (Takeru approached me with an incredible fury.)Yui: N-Nothing! I just thought they would be more convenient…Yui: Susanoo-san, I also gave you Totsuka Takeru…Yui: (I tried to convey everything to him desperately under that immense pressure, but…)Takeru: You can have them back!Yui: (He rejected me, yelling shrilly. I felt my mind going blank from the pressure.)Yui: But…Tsukito: Totsuka Takeru. Please follow the rules.Takeru: But, bro…Tsukito: In order to complete the goal “graduation”, both a first and last name are necessary.Takeru: I-Is that so… If you say so, then I guess…Yui: (His attitude was completely different… We were explaining the same thing, so why?)Takeru: But… What’s a last name?Yui: Uh, well that is…Yui: (I explained names to him.)Yui: (Then I explained how I thought of their new names.)Takeru: Totsuka Takeru, huh… If it’s the same as my brother, then fine. Yeah, it’s like we’re matching.Yui: (Though he grumbled about it, Takeru seemed to have finally accepted his new name, if only because he matched with his older brother.)Yui: (As for the other gods…)Dionysus: Yo, Aidoneus!Hades: Don’t call me meaninglessly. Dionysus Thyrsus… It’s hard to pronounce. I don’t have to use that, right?Dionysus: What’s with that? Isn’t that kinda mean? I mean, I kinda thought that too, but…Loki: Megingjord makes you sound sooo strong! What should your nickname be? If it was Apollon, you’d probably be Gin-Gin or Gjo-Gjo…Thor: …It’s fine as it is.Yui: (Thor had a rare displeased look on his face. It seemed like he wanted to protest.)Thor: The word Laevatein suits you.Thor: …It conveys fire. …Like fire, you always slip out of one’s grasp.Loki: But I’m so super serious I don’t even tell lies! I’m upset–!Yui: (He struck a ridiculous pose and looked at Thor daringly.)Thor: …That’s exactly what I was talking about.Yui: (Anyway, after checking on all of them, it seemed that, for now, they didn’t think badly of me or school. I felt relieved.)Yui: …Well, shall we start club activities?Yui: Reference the materials, and try to think of something for now.Yui: (Following my direction, they began reading through the books.)

Yui: (…………………….Still?)Yui: (It’s been about one hour since we’ve been thinking of activities.)Loki: Ah, this strategy’s gonna be good. Let’s use 10kg of gunpowder in the next Balder mission… Oh, and a fishing net too…
Yui: (He was passionately reading something completely unrelated.)Takeru: Mnn… Hum num… Bro… Wait for me… Mnn…Yui: (Takeru was sleeping on his book like a pillow.)Hades: …Yui: (Having given up on looking for ideas, Hades closed his book and was staring out the window.)
Yui: (They looked like they weren’t even thinking about it.)
Yui: (…I felt like I needed to do something.)Yui: Excuse me, everyone.Yui: I know you’re all still in the middle of thinking, but since we’re not making any progress, I’m going to do a survey.Yui: (As I said this, I passed out pens and pieces of paper.)Yui: Please write down the clubs you’re interested in and turn it in to me. Let’s experience those club activities today. Hands-on experience is important too.Loki: Okay, okay! Leave it to us–!Yui: (That was a rather energetic response. Is he getting interested, maybe?)
Yui: (I gathered the forms together, and checked them all myself.)

Loki… nothing. Thor… “The same thing as Loki.”

Tsukito… nothing. Takeru… nothing.

Dionysus… nothing.

Yui: …Yui: (Loki thought just verbally answering to my suggestion would be fine. Being let down like this was cruel.)Yui: (Putting the last of my wishes into Hades’s answer, I opened it…)Yui: (…And it said “Astronomy Club”.)Yui: …Um, everyone.Yui: Right now, the astronomy club has the most support, so I was thinking that we could all experience clubs through it.Yui: Please enter the club temporarily. It’s a mandatory procedure.Dionysus: Eh? Is that what a survey’s supposed to be?Yui: …Yes.Yui: (Right, I’ve decided.)
Yui: (If I hadn’t done something, there would be a lot of gods who would just go home without doing anything.)Hades: …An astronomy club…?Yui: (Seeing his own suggestion used, Hades looked surprised, but also a little happy.)
Yui: (Looking at his face, my impression of Hades changed just a little.)
Yui: (He might not be as scary as I thought he was.)
Yui: (On top of that, it was a little surprising that he liked stars, of all things.)Loki: What do we do specifically?Yui: We ask Hades to be the president, since he seems most the most responsible in this case, and we carry out club activities.Hades: Me…?Loki: Because he seems like he’s clearly thought of his goals? Or is this that “power by seniority”? I want a more active leader, you know…Takeru: Bastard, if you wanna complain, then go! Do it yourself! I’m fine with Hades-san.Loki: What’s thiiiis, did you get wrapped up in something bad? Oh wait, are you getting something from Mr. Death? Like a bribe, or something?Takeru: At least he’s better than you. Anyway I’m fine with astronomy. I’m not interested, but…Yui: (…So he’s not interested.)
Yui: (But Takeru seemed to respect Hades’s higher position, and by majority vote, a club president was decided.)Yui: So, for now, why don’t we try it out?Yui: Hades-san, do you know a lot about stars?Hades: I have a minimal amount of knowledge. However, I need some materials to teach others.Hades: I want to go borrow a reference book from the library. Is that alright?Yui: Of course.Yui: So, will everyone please…Loki: Can I stay here? I have something I wanna try out…Takeru: Even if I go, I won’t understand, so I’ll leave it to you.Yui: Um…Hades: I don’t mind. I’ll return soon.Yui: (Hades was about to go by himself.)
Yui: (I think it’d be best to stay with the god I feel the most uneasy about.)
